Comment (by deryni):

 XMPP allows per-room nicknames, so a global setting doesn't make sense (if
 that is what MomentIM is doing, it may not be I don't really know). It
 also doesn't make much sense to me to put a 'Change Nickname' menu item in
 the right-click menu that appears on the room tab, in the user list, in
 the history area, or in the input area as none of those places have
 anything to do with the 'you' that is in the room. It might make sense to
 put it under the Conversation->More menu but only slightly. Right-clicking
 yourself in the room occupant list is an option but not at all obvious or
 necessarily quick.
